About the company:

Wint was born out of a vision that costly water damage and waste shouldn’t be an issue in the 21st century.

Commercial businesses spend 1/4 of the total cost of their water bills on paying for leaks alone – money and water poured down the drain, at a time when water scarcity has never been a more pressing issue. Not knowing where our water is going puts our property and assets at risk, with water damage being a leading insurance claim. Facility managers tell us they’re crossing their fingers, sleeping uneasy at night, hoping their rudimentary flood protection devices don’t fail them and cause catastrophic damage.
